Doing it myself at my buddy's shop. My friends own the local speed shop, so they're letting me use the shop for the weekend and giving me a hand with the install and dyno tune.

Rwhp or fly wheel hp

If I break 620whp and can keep the car with fair street manners I'll be happy.

Hoping I can get the car to hook. Car has a 3.73 gear but I've done a few suspension mods and use slicks at the track to help it launch, on the street is usually roll races anyway. Goal is to have a low 10 high 9 sec street car that still drives good.

My guess was RWHP - you should have zero issues hitting 620 @ 10-12 psi.

As far as the low 10 / high 9 second car goes, that will definitely be more difficult. You are going to need rear end mods for sure, and possibly a built RPM tranny.

Actually an rpm built rearend is on the way I broke my stock rearend with bolt ons launching the car from 5k haha but that reminds me I swapped to a 3.90. That's why the blower isn't done already. I have a tick performance built trans. And I have a spec SS twin disc

How much trouble will I have with getting this set up to hook on the street with a 3.90 gear?
